Week 2 Update (-2lbs) 172lbs

It has been another successful week. I spent the week fine tuning my eating because believe it or not, I actually have been under-eating! Any one that knows me will know that it is a miracle for that to happen. I have been doing research to ensure that my progress is not stalled by the popular plateau. I have heard this happens when your body gets used to the exercises you do, the calories you have restricted it to and your routine. I am working on making each week different so I can shock my body.

I have continued to exercise everyday for an hour minimum (due to time constraints, the max is usually 2 hours but not at once). I am strength training and doing water aerobics.

It was amazing to step on the scale today and see the numbers. The great thing is, the numbers on the scale and the measurement tape are dropping together. I will do an overall inches measurement and report back. I feel good, I am not at my goal but I feel awesome!!

This week:

Goal is to exercise 6 times a week

Stick to the calories for the week

Ensure that I eat enough calories to avoid my body going into starvation

See you next week o dear weight loss diary (praying for good numbers)

Week 1 Update (-2.5lbs) 174lbs

I decided to update on a weekly basis for now to give comprehensive updates. It has been an awesome week. I unknowingly had no rice this week(if you know me, you would know that is a big deal). I had little snack treats here and there because I did not plan meals properly. I worked out faithfully.

My Workouts

Every day 1hour to 1 hour and a half

Cardio

Circuit Training

Strength Training

Dancing for an hour in my apartment

Kickboxing Exercise DVD

Water Aerobics

Walking

Walking up and down stairs at a moderate pace

My eating was pretty clean. I found myself struggling to hit 1300 calories now that I have cut out soft drinks (sodas, pop), and chocolates. I'm eating more fruits, veggies and salads. Lean protein and more veggies. I LOVED THIS WEEK. I also lost 2.5lbs!! That is 1.3kg. I am hoping to keep my fat loss at a healthy 2lbs per week. I look forward to this new week and really doing some fat damage :-). I am also waking up earlier than usual and I have so much energy. I will be measuring inches in a few days and I will report that also.

Here's to an even better week!!
